Jordan's Dance - Limited Edition of 20 Print

I am making available a print edition of my 2020 painting Jordan's Dance, inspired by the wonderful Super-8 sequence of Jordan dancing amidst a ruined London in Derek Jarman's Jubilee. I originally painted it for the show Picture Palace at Transition Gallery just before Lockdown One; I also wrote about it, and Derek’s connection to my early work, for Transition's magazine Garageland:- 'Jubilee shows us the remains of a collapsed society where the more angry you are the greater your chances of survival. It felt somehow prophetic when I first saw it, and it still does; a warning of what may come rather than a fragment of a punk past. […] The flashback sequence of Jordan dancing was originally shot as the short film Jordan's Dance (1977) and then incorporated into Jubilee. This flickering, shaky slice of Super-8 sits outside of the main narratives, yet at the same time seems to unite Jubilee's fractured spirit. In this beautiful segment, we are witness to the spectacle of punk pioneer Jordan summoned to an urban wasteland, dressed in a classic white tutu and dancing round a bonfire of burning books to the romantic violins of Minkus's pas de deux for Giselle. She is elegantly poised but the attitude remains. 'Jubilee seems both of its time but also exists somewhere else, a hinterland outside of actuality. It was my starting point for thinking about place, that might be real or imagined or somehow both at the same time. When you are young, it's possible to discover something so important and formative that it never quite leaves you. So it is with the chaotic and troubled landscape of Jubilee, and of course Jordan, the defiant jewel in its crown.’
